8.

Dougie and I tried everything in our power to escape for the following 2 days. But it was no use. We became very worried about Danny. What has happened to him? Where is he? How is he?

There wasn't a second of the day that I didn't think about Danny. It's my fault that he's in this mess..

After just another failed plan to escape Dougie let out a frustrated sigh when he said.

'If only Harry were here!'

'Who's Harry?' I asked

'Oh he's my boyfriend. Me and him ran away together with Danny but Danny said it was better if we split up, so we did. But when they found us Harry and I got separated and they caught me. I don't know what happened to him since then.. But I'm sure he's ok. Harry is the strongest I know.'

'What is his superpower?' I asked curious

'Well, he has super strength and he can create electric balls plus he has a super destructive scream'

'Wooow that's so awesome!' I said excited. I really want to meet this Harry. He sounds really cool! And Dougie's right. If Harry was here we would have escaped by now maybe even saved Danny!

Suddenly the guard came in. (he's someone who can walk through walls that's why there are no doors)

'And what's our little princess up to today?' he asked me but I ignored him. I just gave him an angry look.

'Ooh don't be mad at me princess, I'm just the guard who follows orders. And my order now is to bring you to Dax' he said and took me by the arm. As I was being pulled forward I looked around to see Dougie looking at me through the window with worry on his face. That didn't give me much courage.

As we were walking from the prison to the palace another guard joined to take me by the other arm. And he looked even bigger and scarier!

I was able to look around while walking and it was as bad as Danny had told me. There was almost nothing standing unharmed. There were dead bodies lying down the streets and hurt ones too. we walked passed them like they were the usual, the guards didn't even take a look at them.

When we entered the palace, the scenery was completely different. The floor was black and the walls and ceiling were painted in a bloody red. There were painting of old rulers on the walls and sculptures of Dax everywhere. I know it's Dax because his name was written under them.

We got to a really big door and when we approached it opened by itself. Inside there was this kind of living room with a rug and a huge window with the sight of the whole planet. Dax was standing before the window, with his back towards us.

'We have him sir' one of the guards said and Dax turned around with a smile on his face.

'Thank you' he said friendly to them and then said to me. 'Please take a seat'

I did what he said and sat down on the couch.

'As you know there is a reason why I summoned you here.'

I nodded.

'Zuky' he said 'Or as you know him, Danny. You see Danny is not really cooperating with me and no matter what I threaten to do to him, he won't barge. But now a little bird told me he loves you..' he said with a wink to the guard

I felt how my breathing became more like hyperventilating.

'You see other than walking through walls he also has a very sharp hearing and overheard your conversation you had a few days ago' Dax paused to look at me. The smile on his face became even wider when he saw how scared and worried I looked.

'You don't have to worry' Dax said. 'If Danny really loves you nothing will happen to you but if he doesn't.. than yeah.. I guess you should be worried'
